January 25th 2022- Progress in the Casino Heist
The boys head to the Vinewood sign and meet K after they pick up Anto from LS. K is a solo cadet already. K tells them that the cops are crazy, they just run around killing people. He tells them that some of the Clean Bois got caught at the Casino again. Francis shifts the conversation to them all climbing the Vinewood sign even though they might die. Everybody agrees to do it. At the top of the sign, Randy handcuffs K and the boys start interrogating him. They tell him that this whole situation was Ramee's idea and they accuse him of forgetting his plan for why he became a Detective. He tells him they don't even know what his plan was but he says that he's just trying to gather information for them and that he would've given them some right then and there but they decided to handcuff him. Randy uncuffs him as soon as he says that, everyone agrees that Ramee is dumb and they shouldn't listen to him. Francis suggests coming up with a punishment for Ramee having such a bad idea. K tells them that X, Yuno and Tony all got caught in the Casino. Dean opened some doors for the cops so K snooped around a bit. He says that he saw a locked elevator that leads to the Casino vault and that Tony and Yuno were caught inside a security room in the Casino. K tells the boys that X went to the cops and snitched out the whole heist. He says that TJ Walker told the cops that CG was blowing up the power plant to rob the Casino. He used the photoshopped picture of K surrounded by C4 that K sent him as a joke. The power plant has already been blown put so the boys decide to wait until the power is back on to investigate anything. K tells them that he told CB when they were about to get subpoenaed so if there's a possibility of the boys getting raided they can let them know.
Randy tells the boys that with all the information that they've gathered themselves and that the information K just gave them he thinks it's time for them to explore the Casino. Randy tells the boys about how he and Ramee snuck into Dean's office in the Casino after the cops were investigating after the power went out and some crazy shit was happening. He tells them how he hid from the cops and Ramee went to jail. He tells them that when Ramee got out of jail and went to visit his hotel room, he heard some weird noises and saw Marty running around, but Marty never said anything to him. Francis says that he also heard some beeping when the power went out in the Hotel. Randy says that in the Casino blueprints Ramee's room is mentioned specifically. They boys all agree that they have enough information to investigate officially. Randy does make sure to let the boys know that if the Clean Bois are still in the Casino when they get there that he wants to just leave them be and come back when they're finished. Randy goes in his head and the boys get Francis' Range Rover from the Apartments. They drive around and talk for a bit before they see the Angels next to the Tavern. They get into a big fight, Randy goes down, as always. Randy is picked up and the boys leave the Tavern. The Angels pit them into a pole and somehow Curtis and Taco turn invisible. Randy jokingly tells them to go into the Casino.
The boys change their clothes and then head to the Casino after picking up Taco who had to rewake up. They take the elevator to the Casino Hotel and start their investigation. They decide to investigate Dean's office instead but decide to leave quickly because they see someone there because they see someone who turns out to be Mickey. Randy decides he wants to gamble so he and Francis start spinning the wheel. They earn basically nothing from it. Taco spins the wheel too, barely getting anything as well. Randy gets some money from the ATM and heads to the 10k table. Randy doesn't have any lucky soap but wins his first hand. He loses the next two. He plays some more and both wins and loses some more games. He leaves the table after losing his money and Abaco calls him telling him to get on radio 666.9.
The boys start their investigation, for real this time. Francis shares that he heard a beeping noise again, but no one seems to pay any attention to it.. Curtis informs the boys that he thinks somebody heard them say what radio they were on but Taco said that they were whispering so they should be fine. Nice Taco. The boys brainstorm what they would need to do to make any progress. They talk about the generators K told them about and knowing that they definitely have to take out the power. Randy is skeptical to actually do anything because he hasn't seen the Clean Bois leave, they might still be in the Casino. Randy tells the boys about the weird noises Ramee heard in his room with the power out. They head up to Ramee's hotel room and investigate. The power isn't out anymore. Francis suggests searching a few different rooms that they've heard noises from. The group decides to focus on rooms 503, 506, 514 and 520. They wonder where to get C4 from but Randy looks in Ramee's stash and there's a C4 in there. Randy calls Anto who left, he tells him to come to the Casino Hotel, they need him. The boys wait for and Randy says that he hopes that CB is done so they're not being disruptive. Randy calls K but he doesn't pick up. Anto gets to the Casino and Randy tells him their plan to blow up the power plant and search the rooms. K calls Randy and tells him that they're about to start searching, K says that it's a good time because there's a lot of cops busy. Randy goes into Ramee's room and he hears some footsteps and a ladder in the bathroom. He calls Francis and tells him. Randy continues searching the bathroom but doesn't find anything out of place. He and Francis discuss the things that other members of the gang have already tried like mollies and grenades, so they know that won't work. Randy calls Buddha and asks if the Clean Bois are still at the Casino so they don't mess anything up. Buddha says that they're still in the Casino so Randy says that they can just wait until they're done.
With the war sadly averted, the boys turn their focus on the casino. Randy explains all his information to Anto while they wait for Curtis to blow up the power plant. Curtis blows the power plant, and Randy and Anto run around room 503 as they hear the ticking sound but don’t find anything. This confirms their suspicions that 503 is the correct room but now they have to wait to blow up the power plant again. Not having another c4, they struggled to find another way to blow the power plant but MigL has an RPG. MigL Randy plans for all of the boys to crowd in the room and pick a wall to peek at so they can find it. Having to wait for the power to come back on, they leave the casino to meet with Dundee to get their stuff back. Back in LS, Randy calls K and gives him the information they got. Still waiting for the power to come back on the boys drive around the city and eventually get traffic stopped by Baas and K. The traffic stop is very funny and they are let go not long after. The power comes back on at this point sending them into a frenzy to get to the casino. Cops are circling the area so after a call to K they wait for him to give them the all-clear. While waiting for this call, Anto trips down the shower drain and has to rewake up With Anto back and the all-clear from K, MigL blows the power plant and Randy finds the hidden door in the shower entering it with a moan exclaiming “Oh Step Tunnel, Yeah! Oh, Yeah!“
Behind the door, Randy finds a keypad that allows him to open the door for everyone else. Randy calls K and tells him everything and they wait before exploring too deep until he can join them. In case the power being off is important they go ahead a little bit to look around while K grabs some equipment for them. The boys continue exploring the tunnels and with K joining them the real search begins. K gives the one thermite to Randy and while they search for a place to use it, Ramos wakes up Randy fails the thermite and remembers he has two remaining in his house in Little Seoul. Leaving the casino he journeys to LS to retrieve the thermite.
Randy arrives at LS and grabs his thermite, heading back to the Casino. The power comes back on as he is driving back and Ramee mentions he has a C4 in the Gallery. Randy decides to go grab it so they can take out the power again. He doesn’t find it in the Gallery and just heads back to the Casino. Randy heads back into the tunnel and decides to just try thermite the boxes and see if it confirms they need the power to be off. Randy finds a box to thermite and attempts the thermite with the two he has but fails both, only missing one or two squares each time. This is the 8x8 thermite hack…
However on January 30th a Clip of Garrett & Autumn talk OOC about the whole of CG stepping down from the heist due to to stress and wanting to focus on other RP ventures. This also comes after CG being banned from the heist for a week then un-banned once the heist got updated.
